Hobart Beach - Bournda National Park, Tathra & Mimosa Rocks

From Green Cape we drove via the far too hectic Merimbula, glad to escape, to Bournda NP for a night in a very well appointed camping area that had hot showers and provided fire wood for a blazing fire to keep the visiting possums and bandicoots warm as they continually raided the site in search of bounty. The abbundance of Bell Minors (Bellbirds) was overwhelming with several birds in every tree and visiting the trailer, they are usually easy to hear but hard to see. In the morning it seemed that we had woken within a carrillion.

Next stop was Tathra where we restocked on oysters before heading to the historic wharf for a coffee. Unfortunately the cafe is no longer operating but the vista is still magnificent, as was the fur seal who came to visit.

Next stop Bermagui to restock the fridge and enjoy a coffee and hot chocolate at this pretty little harbour side town. We then backtracked to Mimosa Rocks where we spent a couple of nights warding off the marauding possums, and the less pesky bandicoots, and again warmed by entrancing flames of camp fires.We enjoyed some lovely walks and Sue caught a cod off these rocks

 that provided a wonderful entree before a main course of lamb stew.

 What a delicious fish, we really have been eating very well on this trip.
